The research of Dutch Centre for Statistics and Insurance show that fewer traffic accidents, fires and burglaries happen on Friday the 13th than any other Friday.

"It is hard to believe that only because of the date, people drive more carefully, or just stay at home, but statistically speaking, driving is the safest on Friday the 13th", says one of the analysts.

In the last two years, according to their data, 7.800 traffic accidents on average happen on an 'ordinary' Friday, while an average for Friday the 13th is 7.500.
